From its beginning the Whyte Museum has been supported by private donations. Peter and Catharine Whyte's dream of collecting and preserving the history and art of the Canadian Rockies began with their donation of art, artifacts, archival materials and the initial endowment funds. Now, members and donors help provide the funds for the Museum to grow and prosper.
As the Museum embarks on its second quarter-century, it requires your generosity more than ever. The Whyte Museum's Planned Giving Program is one way that we can provide for the future while maintaining the tradition of the past.
Planned gifts are arranged during the donor's lifetime and provide benefits to both the donor and the Museum. The donor receives tax benefits or other financial savings, recognition, and the sense of accomplishment and well-being that goes with providing for the future of the Museum and its work. The Whyte Museum receives a steady flow of income to assure long-term financial stability.
The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies (Peter and Catharine Whyte Foundation) solicits donations to further its work in collecting, preserving and making available to the public the cultural heritage of the Canadian Rockies. 100% of the money raised goes towards the Foundation and the expected annual fund-raising amount is $20,000. The Foundation is incorporated at Banff under Part 9 of the Alberta Incorporations Act and is located at 111 Bear St., Banff, AB. Interested parties may contact Executive Director, Peter and Catharine Whyte Foundation, Graeme Nunn at (403) 762-2291, ext. 305 for further information.
